I'M SO CLOSE TO FINISHING MY INPUT LAG!

[KriTiKaL]

Sorry guys, but the only fix is NVIDIA LOW LANTECY MODE ON is the best. I have played with off and I have tried many fixes software bios scripts, disabling services, DWM, HPET, MSIMODE, DDU, RAM OPTIMISATION and much more and even combination between them and there is no fix for OFF.
Maybe I was crazy because I was trying to fix it and i think i was tweaking more than 1 year, and no fix at all.
So i repeat myself, put On, and you will see your score is back to life like in the old times

I just wanted to get rid of some old crap, I don't use anymore from loading... I have got myself strange mouse movement, after deleting some driver xhunter1.sys from Windows folder, but I didn't have any entry in programs and features to uninstall. It is some anti-cheat. It lowered lag drastically like if you changed DPI almost, but mouse is less responsive when making small adjustments, compared to how snappy it is now. It is weird really! Maybe it is about getting used to it, but my cursor feels messed up. What could be cause of that?

Increasing MouseQueueDataSize made mouse more consistent, but didn't remove this new feel to it!!! It is weird like it moves about larger distances, like if you increased DPI! And it is heavy when making small adjustments. Clearly it messed something up, don't know how i would fix it now and i don't care about gaming anymore that much to bother, just in case someone has clue why would this happen... It is annoying for use even in Windows, but i can get used to it I guess...

I use Logitech MX vertical egonomic mouse now, it is pretty inconsistent and glitchy! In mouseTester horrible inconsistencies even jumping to 20ms... When I put keyboard next to Logitech adapter mouse jitters, or skips... I had never problem on 5$ wireless. I will need it to RMA it probably, but it is annoying, all time something needs RMA... I thing this change just exacerbated the problem...

So a bit about my journey, I made an input lag guide about it that you could read over there. https://community.amd.com/message/2958691

It's very outdated compared to the plethora of information I obtained in the past week. Also note I now have a 3900x Build with x570 and 5700xt.

I initially thought my input lag had something to do with Window's scheduler that affects Ryzen but no, it is DWM and will forever be DWM. Even if you disable FSO(Fullscreen Optimization) you will forever be cucked by DWM. Because it's BROKEN on Windows 10 since last year! Every time I thought I've gotten close to my problem, it returns! Even in Windows 8 and 7. They are rolling back these horrid input lag problems to older OS's too!

From my posts on the infamous Roach thread. https://www.overclock.net/forum/6-intel ... st28501998

THIS IS IT, I FINALLY FREAKING FOUND IT

THE PROBLEM IS FROM THE POS WINDOWS ITSELF

ALL WINDOWS VERSIONS ARE FOREVER BROKEN AND WILL IGNORE DISABLE FULLSCREEN OPTIMIZAITON

Now all that's left is to get rid of the vysnc and dwm. Maybe if we can find a way to change the "High DPI Scaling"/DPI awareness back to before 1709, or disable it completely, it'll also be great for aiming. BRING BACK SCREEN TEARING.
There has to be even more registry tweaks to improve my performance! I've won all my ranked (masters OW) games so far. This registry tweak is insanely good. I say it's brought my input lag back to 90% potential. Here's my registry right now. I played around with it a bit like set DVR_enabled to 1 or added GameDVR_FSEBehavior, but this works fine for now. See [Picture Attatchment 1] My Input lag for gaming I'd say is around 85-90% fixed, but the overall responsiveness is still cursed. I guess the only way out is the scour the internet for a worthy ISO or maybe find a way to install my build correctly.

Here's 2 more options to fix disable fullscreen optimization on registry. https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUND ... ullscreen/
I tried the 211 Flag thing on overwatch, but forgot to save my registry so I couldn't test it on and off.

So as you all know I compare input lag differences between builds, mostly AMD. I've had Everything from Dell Inspiron i3s - Athlon - FX - and all 3 Generations of Ryzen. The problem started when Windows started changing the way their DWM worked and for a while, all you needed to do was disable fullscreen optimization and that was it. Nowadays the input lag is apparent across the entire system from desktop to applications. This is what I call a CursedOS. They are even backrolling some of these changes to Windows 7 and Windows 8. There is something inherently wrong with different Windows versions/ISOs/updates/build configurations/or even installations that affect how well it performs.

Just a few days ago I went to my friend's house and tested his 3700x build and his girlfriend's 1600 build. His 3700x has much more input lag in both desktop and games even if using a 2080super. Her 1600 with rx 590 has phenomenal input lag, it felt so amazing to use; I haven't felt something so good in a long time. Her build didn't even need the registry tweaks, it was Perfect and disable fullscreen optimization worked great as intended. Even just using the mouse on the desktop felt incredible. They are both auto updated to the latest 1909 and their registries on GameConfigStore were identical.
The differences are that he built her that PC along time ago, back when the rx 590 came out or a bit before. His 3700x was built last year, so maybe like most of my newer installs, they all have input lag now because the ISOs that microsoft put out are all garbage Cursed OS's. One thing that I did discover from this is that Freesync sometimes feels better enabled. Maybe it was just placebo. Attached are images of their GameConfigStore registries and systems.

Now these patches, I would say they are 75-85% effective at reducing desktop composition/DWM input lag. But you know what makes the biggest difference?

I downloaded 2016 LTSB and it's so damn good. No input lag in desktop or games! Sure scaling is broken and looks ugly, but everything is smooth and responsive especially in games. Went 61 elims and 33 final blows in an OW ranked match, haven't had this much fun in a long time. I could have been a pro but I just couldn't find the cause for the lag soon enough.

However, it was just a distant dream. The input lag returned the next day. Definitely from an update, even on 2016 LTSB it comes to haunt me. SMH, I knew I should have disabled updates completely with wpd.app or some other win10 privacy tool.

I did find this other general guide for removing stuttering from games. https://www.removeddit.com/r/Windows10/ ... sible_fix/

Within that guide it provides a bat file that can disable DWM on all applications on your system. However it doesn't really do much because Disable Fullscreen Optimization has been broken since 1903. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comm ... mizations/

However someone from the ReviOS discord recommended me this tool that could potentially disable DWM, but I don't know how to use it or open it after I cloned it. https://github.com/Biswa96/Junkyard/blo ... /KillDwm.c

Lastly I found this method to disable DWM on certain applications. Much easier to do than the aforementioned tweaks. But I'm not sure if it worked or not. https://superuser.com/questions/1509013 ... ws-10-1903

After all of that, the answer was HERE In these forums. From a post made in 2018! viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4512

Update 2

Have done some further testings. Recreated the effect with only one DWM priority. Through the Process Hacker, the Priority was set to Idle. Changing the states of any other priorities was not needed. Although, when testing in-game, and constantly alt-tabbing from full screen and back, it would seem that, sometimes, the dwm.exe had to be restarted in order to get the effect (no need to leave the game, just service restart and then alt-tab back to the game).

I use AMD everything, so this is just still a temporary solution (I have the same problem as Update 2 but didn't do those nvidia tweaks) Having to restart DWM every session is kinda ehh. Will try 20.04 soon tho. My input lag is really great, used this DWM tweak on 1909, feels even better than the 2016 LTSB drive(well it was broken after the update anyways).

Also, I'm not sure but I believe old default AMD drivers might have less input lag than the drivers now.

UPDATE 8/07/2020

Someone sent me more settings. THIS IS IT. As close to 2015 performance. https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/d ... n-windows/

TO Undo: Don't worry if you don't like it double-click the win 10 stock file & changes value back to "0" (Back to stock)

Unsure if it saves GPU or CPU or both, But has an extremely positive effect for sure.
Edit: (it disables all the alt-tab rendering features so probably a bit of both)

I can imagine APU's would really benefit from this.

This is all empty effort. Windows has nothing to do with these lags. You can feel the same mouse lag in BIOS (if it's smooth enough and not lagging like shit for you so you can notice it) or in other operating systems as well. I for one can feel this draggy feeling in my BIOS too. When I first open the BIOS, my mouse is pretty quick and responsive, but as the time goes, it becomes draggy and overall the whole BIOS stops being as responsive, just like on Windows or in games.

There is no reason why we have to do all the tweaks and stuff while youtubers like jackfrags have perfect and smooth aim and input lag.
